Topic: Microsoft AntiSpyware

I'm actually impressed with this; it found way more expoits than both Ad-aware and Spybot.

Just another example of them (MS) buying another company (Giant) to get another title to sell.

Two steps to avoiding spyware:

1. Don't use IE.
2. Don't install Kazaa.

3. Don't visit warez websites

Re: Microsoft AntiSpyware

This whole MS Anti-spyware thing is retarded. If Microsoft had not allowed the holes in their software for so long, PEBCAKs wouldn't have these problems. It's like Chevrolet putting out a new car without wheels because they 'forgot' and then offering the wheels as a 'new service'. The whole idea is stupid and simply unbelievable.

Microsoft is getting away with murder.

That's a great start but even then the odd bit will still find it's way in.

Btw, what happened to your "Get Firefox" button on the front page?

At least put a text link, it's good advertising for PunBB too as it appears on the Spead Firefox page everytime someone clicks it. But whatever it's up to you.
